  • Swap Till You Drop: Building Wealth with Tax-Advantaged Real Estate - With Louis Rogers

    I had a great time recording on Financial Freedom with Real Estate Investing, on episode MB499 - an insightful episode looking for investors looking for tax advantaged real estate investing. We discussed the use of Section 1031 to defer all taxes on the sale of real estate and investing in an opportunity zone fund to defer and exclude all taxes on the sale of any asset. Listen to this episode to learn strategies used by the most astute real estate managers. Thanks for having me, Michael!

MB534: Maximizing Your Return on Life and Building a Real Passive Income Business (Not a Second Job) - with Dani Lynn Robison
Q: What does freedom mean to you, and how does it influence your investment approach?
Freedom is about time and the ability to do what you want rather than being bound to work; we tailor investment structures to individual goals, using evergreen funds for liquidity and direct deals for tax benefits when aligned with a investor's freedom objectives.
MB534: Maximizing Your Return on Life and Building a Real Passive Income Business (Not a Second Job) - with Dani Lynn Robison

MB533: The AI Revolution Is Here (Will Investors Be Left Behind?) — With Jake Heller
Q: What is a practical first project to prove AI's value?
Use Claude for Excel to extract data from an offering memorandum and map it to your underwriting model, creating a quick, tangible demonstration of speed and accuracy gains.
MB533: The AI Revolution Is Here (Will Investors Be Left Behind?) — With Jake Heller
Q: How should someone new to AI start in this space?
Start with a general model like Claude or ChatGPT, pick one focus area, and build a muscle by practicing; begin with practical tasks such as analyzing a deal in a familiar format, and gradually expand as confidence grows.
MB533: The AI Revolution Is Here (Will Investors Be Left Behind?) — With Jake Heller
Q: What do you think is broken about how most real estate investors are using AI?
People are using AI for basic knowledge work without leveraging its potential to enhance core CRE tasks; many investors still rely on traditional methods and are resistant to changing long-standing processes, which slows adoption.
